Let’s see if we can get those approval numbers to ZERO

Poor, blind, pitiful

“Proponents of the immigration bill that stalled in the Senate regrouped Friday, holding strategy sessions and conference calls aimed at salvaging the overhaul.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and other key negotiators said they would return soon to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) with a plan to move the bill toward passage.

The challenge is to whittle a lengthy list of amendments down to about 20, convince Republican critics that they are getting adequate opportunity to air their concerns and spend only two or three days of the Senate floor time to complete the bill, senators said.

“We are not giving up. We are not giving in,” Kennedy said. “The American people expect us to legislate. I think all of us look at the Senate the old-fashioned way: We are here to get something done.”

Kyl said they “have already begun the process of figuring how to get this back together and concluded in the next few weeks.”

And Reid signaled again Friday that he would accommodate them. “We are committed to finding room in the Senate schedule as soon as possible to get this bill passed,” said Reid’s spokesman, Jim Manley.”

Yeah, it’s not over, and in spite of overwhelming evidence that the will of the people of the United States is being trampled on, these hacks are pushing through.

Oh, yeah, to quote John Lennon, “We’re talking about a revolution”.

    We need a second “Victory Caucus” to organize on this front before Kennedy’s “bargain” hunters and special interest groups begin to grease the palms of those who didn’t support them the last time.
